Stenographic reporters are in demand in the vast and growing freelance market. Stenographic reporters are in demand in courts across the nation. Stenographic reporters are in demand as broadcast captioners and CART providers. (watch TV news segment about court reporting)

These are facts. If voice-recording technologies were the answer, they would have replaced us 50 years ago. But they haven’t. Because they aren’t good enough. The inadequacies of voice-recording are well documented. The superiority of stenographic reporting is unchallenged.

It means high earnings will be in prospect right from the start. And long term it means a viable, well-paid career for you.
